KeanyGD's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[IVIVARELUS - Yandere (Dubstep)]

pretty good, I loved the intro, very well done in that respect, imo the name is *yandere* but doesnt really have that much of a creepy aspect

it could be a lot better, with a lot more things included, such as pads, sweeps, up and down lifters, more percussion, you get the idea. I can tell you havent been producing for long with this song, as it sounds quite mediocre (not trying to be rude, it's a phase we all have to go through)

one last criticism, you used a *lot* of that fill sample, which is blatantly cymatics, you can just tell, it's from the terror pack I believe, but dont hold me to that, and when you can tell a sample that's just straight from a pack, you question if you actually made the basses or if you went and got a sample or preset to do the work for you, which again, is okay while you're learning, but is regarded as bad to do it all the time, kind of thing

aaaand I have to ask, do you have discord or any other social media I can contact you via? that would be cool ^-^

QuartzoneTunes responds:

Yap, instagram: ivivarelus_89 :D

And yes, It maybe sounds a bit weak, i suppose that's because i have been only producing for about a year :)

[Killer-FX - House for Sale (AlieN Remix) (Future House)]

I'm confused. if you're so confident that its not up to standards with the original, why would you upload it?

AlienNinjaGD responds:

IDK. I just wanted to make and upload this because I love the original song, and I'm sure @Killer-FX should be more famous, coz he's a talented musician!

[In The Hall of the Mountain King (CyniR Remix)]

question, why did you use pads for the drop instead of basses? bit of a weird decision if you ask me

CyniR responds:

This is an older track. Didn't know how to make drops very well.

[Derpcat X Killer-FX - Simplicity]

WHY ARE YOUR CHORD PROGRESSIONS SO GOOD JEESAUCE

Okay, well, I really like the song, it sounds pretty motivational but also not too cheesy, then the hypiest buildup exists, and the first drop comes to be, and mfg, it's so good, all that work definitley payed off, reminds me of Divine by DetiousMusic, only more modern and better mixed, the second drop is the holy grail of music itself, it's so pretty, sounds so og but kinda like old dubstep aswell, not very futuristic, but still futuristic at the same time.

Overall, straight 5 stars as the song is just beautiful

[The green castle]

you want feedback, you shall have it

okay, firstly, medieval, yes, that makes it good. It gets slightly distorted in some areas, you can see by the visualisation newgrounds provides, the volume touches the edge every so often, that's where it distorts, I like the little keychange about a minute and a half in, it flows pretty well, and then it seems to happen again in the same seamless manner, I think overall it's very pretty, distinguished, and fun to listen to ;)

[Hell gate]

too loud, you can hear the distortion ringing around the song, it even ducks in some places. You cant just pump the volume and hope for the best, the part after the first drop was okay, I suppose, but everything is off key and discordant, then the buildup comes out of nowhere, not a welcome sound, and then the drop is just a copy paste of the first one give or take a few minimal changes. over all the song is quite messy and doesn't make sense.

[Muted Colours]

nice name, nice song, very ambient and distant sounding, it's actually quite sad lol, it's as if it tells a story

SharpenedSwords responds:

Thanks man!

[DirtyPaws & ELEPS - Double Trouble (Original Mix)]

let's see

well

this is...

really good actually, it just flows, like, it's really hard to distinguish the styles in the song, like, you two work well together you flow seamlessly, really good job, and congrats on the frontpage ;)

[AlieN - Energy (Xtra)]

the transitions arent that good, it's like it changes into a different song with each segment. the intro, verse, build, drop, all completley unrelated to one another, however, while the mixing is, well, terrible, and the limiting is painfully long on the release, making that warpy effect when things get too loud. and also, use pitch bend to make the buildup get higher pitched, not actually dragging the notes in the playlist, as it makes it smoother doing it with a bend of one octave.

A recurring problem I find you to have is that you don know when things get a bit too high on the frequency scale, and those 1/32 saw arps you added only cut out because they completely leave the frequency range that humans can hear, meaning that your songs have an excess of frequencies so high, that you'd probably trigger a whole dog pound if someone walked past listening to it.

AlienNinjaGD responds:

Thanks for your advices!

[AlieN - Space Funk (???)]

this ones okay, I guess, but dude, you need to make leads and not just saw waves, they're painful and they don't leave you throughout the whole track. the intro was cool but there was too much sustain on the bass notes, they should be more plucky. the chord progression is pretty good, not going to lie, but you cant hear the drums which cut out pretty much all the tension. If you're not going to sidechain you might aswell not even add drums.

AlienNinjaGD responds:

Yeah, maybe adding some more pluck on the intro will make it better. Thanks!
